Indeed. Wonderful band!
I recommend their compilation entitled "Dregs", which features three of their albums released from 1980-82 on 2 CD's

Agree with you there! As I agree with the thread originator on Di Meola, RTF, etc. For older-school, don't forget Blood, Sweat A& Tears second self-titled album (1968). Some real excellent jazz-rock / fusion ideas for the time. As was the first two Chicago albums (1969, 1970) (all three produced by James William Guercio - maybe a connection there). Little newer is 'Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group Live' (1977): the things Hammer can do with a synth is amazing! Of equal caliber is Jeff Beck 'There and Back' (1980), also featuring Jan Hammer - and Simon Philips on drums! |

Area is one hell of a band. i heard about them in 2005 when i was getting into prog rock, but never explored their music until this year, unfortunately. They are one of my favorite jazz-rock bands
i need to get some of their live albums. i have all the studio ones |

I know and really like some big names, Mahavishnu, RTF, Weather Report, and very interested in Area, jazz rock with vocals, and what vocals.
![]() Maneige and Sloche also sound wonderful, but that's really not something that you can find easily. ![]() |

One Shot is simply smoking:relentless,never dull.James Mac Gaw,when playing with Magma,still finds
opportunities to shine but with One Shot he's as lethal as John Mc Laughlin or Radim Hadlik!Go ahead
for Snake Oil too.They released Doustrian Dances and Uppercut attitudes a wonderful 2cd set with James
Mc Gaw guesting on one of them.

Anybody fans of One Shot? Alot of people label them as Zeuhl because they're ex members of Magma, but they're a jazz fusion band to me.

Hey Micky! I see you might be interested in Polish fusion band LABORATORIUM. Martin (Alucard) compared them to Area especially in terms of singing. Here's what he said:

For fans of Tony Williams (original ) Lifetime, checkout Elephant9's Dodovoodoo - ignore the reviews suggesting similarities to Soft Machine or Mahavishnu Orchestra

MMW is great that's for sure, I suggest Friday Afternoon in the Universe as well as their two "Tonic" live recordings. |

Today I have received an interesting promo CD from Finland: the instrumental jazzrock band Progression, their strong and dynamic music has hints from Mahavishnu Orchestra, Billy Cobham and Al Di Meola, I have send a PM to Dick about this band.
See: www.progression.fi

![]() I've just read that the above has just been awarded the best prog fusion album (I guess of 2007 - Amazon.UK have it listed as beeing released at the end of January 2007). It is a good reinterpretation of a Mahavishnu Orchestra original - but in great danger of being also called a tribute or covers album. I have to ask the questions:
a) who are the judges of these things - I'm not aware of anybody I know firsthand or by reputation being involved - or is it like some of the music industry prizes, the band 's own management nominates their band.............?
b) why ,from an excellent year for original jazz rock/jazzfusion albums, was this one picked?
Checking the website:
left me wondering if we couldn't do this sort of thing more democratically here at PA??? Edited by Dick Heath - July 01 2008 at 04:50 |

Hence the pioneering progressive music sub-set jazz rock - the jazz fusion bit came when there was too little obvious rock to call it jazz rock or jazz rock fusion |
